THE FANTASY FORGE: The Swords of Conan the Barbarian

Hello everyone and welcome to another installment of The Fantasy Forge. This time we are going to take a look at the amazing replicas of the Arnold movie series made by Albion Swords.

I mentioned the Fathers sword on my top ten list of fantasy swords, but honestly while I think its the best looking one, all of the swords are gorgeous. I actually think the swords are the ONLY thing that the Arnold movies did better then the remake with Jason Momoa. They are works of art and the best part is you can get one of your very own! If your interested you can check them out at Filmswords.com. They are pretty expensive but its hard to put a price on that much tangible bad-ass.

Happy hunting!

THE FANTASY FORGE: Finn's Golden Sword of Battle. (aka Scarlet)

In this series Im going to highlight props and items from various forms of fantasy mediums that are crafted in the real world, first up (since it was the inspiration to start this seres, Finn's Golden Sword of Battle (aka Scarlet) from the Adventure Time tv series. The sword is brought to life by master blacksmith Tony Swatton in his series Man at Arms: take a look.

Its amazing how he adds the nicks and scratches in the blade. I am truly impressed by the final product. Also If you don't happen to know, Adventure Time is a Cartoon that is currently on Cartoon Network and true fan of RPG's and the fantasy genre will love this show. Also despite being marketed for a young audience this is one of those masterful shows that has plenty of "hidden" humor for adults. If you haven't seen it, check it out.
